Chapter 23
Zhang Cheng's breath gradually became even, and his complexion gradually returned to normal at this time. Sitting on the saddle, he said to Chen Zhong beside him:
"Look at how the wounded brothers are doing, count the battle situation, and report back to me."

Chen Zhong said: "Yes." Then he turned around and got on his horse, and rode away with a few guards.

Zhang Cheng also ordered Chen Zheng to take good care of the cavalry who was vomiting blood by Chen Zhong's mace, and try not to let him die.

The barbarian had already been smashed with a mace and his internal organs were damaged, so he would definitely not be able to live, but he couldn't die for a while, but he couldn't be forced to ask him about the situation of the Tartars in Mafang Village.

After a while, Chen Zhong and Hu Dake, the rear guard, galloped back together. Hu Dake was still holding a small braid like a mouse's tail in his hand, with a bald head attached to it. He was the last one to escape to the north. The head of the Qing army vest.

"Master, everything has been cleaned up. Of the ten tartars, none of them escaped."

Hu Dake came to Zhang Cheng and dropped a bloody Tartarist head, got off his horse and continued:
"I wanted to catch a life, but I didn't expect this guy to be so fierce that he injured three of my good soldiers, and in the end I could only kill them."

Zhang Cheng nodded to him, and asked with concern: "How are the injuries, brothers?"

"It's okay, skin trauma." After Hu Dake answered, he approached and asked with concern: "I heard from Brother Zhong that the master was injured?"

"It's okay, it's all right." Zhang Cheng replied, then turned to look at Chen Zhong and asked, "How is it?"

Chen Zhong clasped his fists and replied: "Reporting to President Qian, our troops killed nine captives in this battle, and captured one alive. He was seriously injured. I'm afraid he won't live long.
In addition, five captive war horses were captured and nearly 250 taels of silver were found. Two of our side were killed in battle and seven were injured, one of whom was seriously injured. "

Zhang Cheng thought about it, and said to Chen Zheng beside him: "Order your outpost A, B, and B to stay here and rescue the injured brothers. You must take good care of the captives, and keep your mouth shut. Don't teach me." He's dead."

Chen Zheng responded, "This subordinate takes orders."

Zhang Cheng continued: "All the ministries take a short rest and set off after a cup of tea.

But you are the rear sentry at the head, my troops are in the middle, Chen Zheng is behind, and let out all the nights. This place is not far from the Mafang, so don't be careless and disturb the Tartars. "

Everyone took orders, and went to make arrangements. Zhang Cheng, accompanied by Chen Zhong, went to visit the four injured people.

Only the one with the arrow in his abdomen seemed the heaviest. At this time, like the other three, he had stopped bleeding, but the arrow was only cut with a sharp knife, so he had to take it out after returning to the camp. ready to go.

…………

About four miles to the north of Mafang Village, there is a road that is not very wide, passing through a willow forest, barely enough for four horses to run side by side. 33 knights put on their armor and rode their horses towards the south.

It was Xuanfu Town General Zhang Yan's Cavalry Headquarters Left Whistle B Corps A who was in charge of exploring the road ahead. In order not to collide with each other, they rode side by side, roughly divided into three waves.

There were [-] riders in each of the first and second waves, and [-] riders in the middle, with a distance of more than [-] steps from each other. About half a mile behind them, hooves were rumbling, and more than [-] knights also came galloping on horseback.

The sun draws an arc from the horizon, and now hangs lazily in the western sky. The weak sunlight shines on the yellowed leaves that have begun to fall off, reflecting a golden light.

But they didn't care to watch, they rode their horses and hurried on the road. The first wave of ten Ming cavalrymen had already rode their horses into the willow forest.

It turned out that Zhang Guangda led the left sentry and found no trace of the Qing army sentry cavalry near Tangshan, so he led his troops to assemble in the direction of Mafang according to Zhang Cheng's military order, but encountered the messenger sent by Zhang Cheng halfway.

He gathered his steps immediately, the first team was still at the front, and he personally led most of the troops to the rear, and went straight to Mafang.

I thought that the Qing army was gathering at the horse farm to rest at the moment, but because they were worried about Zhang Cheng's loss in the horse house, they didn't dare to take into account the horse's leg strength, so they tried their best to drive the horse under their crotch and galloped all the way.

Under the leadership of Liu Quan, the commander-in-chief of the left post, the second team of the second team of the left sentry rode their horses about fifty steps behind the first team, and galloped into the road among the willows.

October has already entered autumn, and the wind is howling, especially in the north.

The icy cold wind wantonly blows the yellowed dead branches and leaves, and collides with each other. The sound of "Wow... Wow... Wow..." resounds throughout, "Da... Da... Da Da..." The horseshoes stomp on the ground The sound is particularly loud, intertwined with the sound of the cold wind blowing the nail pages, intertwined into a wonderful movement.

Some withered and yellow willow leaves have accumulated on the road, and the horse's hoof stepped on and made a crisp sound of "crack...crack...crack...crack..." one after another, forming a continuous piece.

There were no frightened birds flying among the willows. They must have flown to the south for the winter, and there were no small animals scurrying around.

Except for the sound of the cavalry marching, there was no other movement, and it was as terrifyingly silent as a dead land.

To be on the safe side, Liu Quance immediately ordered loudly: "Pull back and forth, keep a distance of one horse, pass quickly, and pay attention to the movement in the forest!"

The originally compact cavalry team became looser under his orders, but the speed of march accelerated.

There was still no sound in the willow forest, but it gave Liu Quan a strong sense of oppression, which made the hairs on his back stand on end.

He couldn't help shivering all over his body, feeling a little bit of uneasiness vaguely, his eyeballs turned like revolving lanterns, carefully observing the deathly silent willow forest beside him.

As soon as his left eye swept across the willow forest in the east, suddenly, he saw a few cold stars appearing in the golden patches under the sun.

"Whoosh...swoosh..." Immediately afterwards, the sound of arrows piercing through the air came from the forest.

"Enemy attack..."

Liu Quan discovered the enemy's situation and shouted loudly to remind the knights in the second armor. He himself immediately turned his head to look at the willow forest in the east, only seeing a little cold star coming straight towards him.

With a flash of his instinct, an arrow slashed past his left ear, taking away a piece of flesh from the earlobe, and the blood donation immediately stained his left shoulder red.

"what…"

Then there was a scream, a knight in armor on Liu Quan's right, who was slightly behind him by a horse's head, was shot through the earmuffs by a heavy arrow, pierced through his left ear, and pierced through his right ear.

He only yelled halfway before falling off the horse, without a sound, the horse lost control, raised its hooves and galloped forward, leaving its master to escape the dangerous place alone.

"Get off the horse and kill the slaves." Liu Quan continued to shout loudly.

At the same time, he immediately got off his horse, and he didn't forget to hit the horse's butt with the three-eyed blunderbuss to make it hurt, so he quickly ran out of this dangerous journey.

He got off his horse and at the same time rolled towards the willow forest on the east side of the road. Then he hid behind a willow tree and picked up the three-eyed gun in his hand, but he didn't dare to make any rash moves. He didn't know how many ambushed soldiers were in the forest and where they were located. .

When a slightly fat knight turned over and dismounted, he was shot in the right calf by an arrow, and he hadn't screamed yet.

Another feathered arrow flew over and pierced his throat through the gap in the throat guard. He lay there straight, leaving forever his brothers who had been with him day and night.

At the same time as the second-class knights got off their horses, the woodland that was originally covered with a thin layer of dead branches and leaves was suddenly lifted up, and the sky was covered with withered yellow willow leaves.

A Qing army vest wearing only light armor burst from the ground with a strange howl. Before the knight walking at the end could react, a heavy mace hit his chest, causing the knight to fall down. land.

The Qing army vest kicked hard on the ground with both feet, flew up again, and smashed the mace hard on the helmet of the fallen Ming army knight.

The black helmet was smashed and flew far away, and the knight's head became a bloody mess.
